When asked what comes to mind when someone
hears the words “Artificial Intelligence,” 65% of
people wrote “the movie.”
Movies portray artificial intelligence as an issue
that is far off in the future.
Is the sector of computer science that is
devoted to developing software programs
and machines that appear to have
intelligence and mimic human behavior.
Artificial Intelligence
Weak AI
Strong AI
• Programs that perform
one specific problem or
function.
• An artificial intelligence
that is not limited to its
programmed constraints.
• Has appearance of
intelligence, but is not
able to address a
problem outside of its
programmed scope.
• Is capable of thinking
for itself and is aware of
itself.
• Programmed to handle
a broader range of
functions, and is
designed to handle more
thought-intensive jobs.
Turing Test –
• Test developed by
Professor Alan Turing in 1950
to try and determine whether
or not machines could
actually think.
• Human engages into a
conversation both with a
human and a machine, and if
the machine is able to fool
30% of the humans it passes
as strong A.I.
• Loebner competition
Awareness Test –
• Attempts to answer the question of whether or not the
A.I. is aware of itself and has self preservation.
Ask each subject a series of
questions to try and
determine which one is the
human, and which is
artificial intelligence.
At the end of the
questioning, the class will
vote to determine which
subject is which.

• Weak A.I. is extremely efficient at performing
repetitive tasks especially in assembly and
manufacturing jobs. The widespread usage of Weak
A.I. would increase overall productivity.
• Increasing productivity will stimulate economic
growth, raising standards of living and improving
overall quality of life.
• With Weak A.I. performing
the mundane jobs, people
could focus on jobs they
truly wanted to do.
• Weak A.I. has the
potential to replace
millions of unskilled and
skilled workers.
• Over 50 percent of the
jobs in the United States
could be threatened by
robotic replacement.
• Despite the potential of
creating new jobs, job
creation does not occur
instantaneously.
• The workers at risk for
robotic replacement are
primarily unskilled,
undereducated
individuals.
Throughout history, technology
has always made some jobs
obsolete, but new job markets
will appear to reemploy those
who lose their job.
Before the advent of the washing
machine, some people made their
livings by washing people’s
clothing.
In response to this technology,
new job markets opened up such
as dry cleaners, creating jobs for
those replaced by the usage of
washing machines.
AICooking Robot
At a price tag of $253,000, “is able to fry, bake,
boil, and steam to perfection” thousands of
authentic Chinese recipes!
Ever-1
At a height of 1.6 meters, EveR-1 is able to understand over
400 words and from a distance, “could be confused with a
real, flesh and blood human”
Ms Saya
The first robotic receptionist, who in her canary yellow
business suit is able to answer a variety of questions
from visitors using advanced voice recognition
software and a memory bank containing over 700
verbal responses

Baby-sit
At the 2005 World Expo in Nagoya,
Japan, attendees were given the
option to leave their children in the
care of the first robotic babysitter
named “PaPeRo.”
• Face recognition software
• Embedded cell phone
Although PaPeRo could be
programmed to notify parents in the
event of an accident, the robot would
be inefficient at being able to handle
every situation a babysitter would be
exposed to.
A Japanese company is
currently testing a team of
security robots armed with
paintball guns to thwart off
intruders onto the facility.
With the inability to analyze
and evaluate every person
the security robot comes
into contact, the probability
of the robot injuring an
innocent person will
always be present.
You arrive at the scene of a
bad car accident. Two
people are trapped in a car
submerged in water, one is a
man in his mid thirties, the
other is a young girl around
the age of twelve. You have
time to save one person, who
would you save?
This clip illustrates
the limitations of
Artificial
Intelligence,
especially when
put into positions
that require human
judgment.
Human thought and intuition cannot be replicated using
code simply because every situation that a robot
encounters is too different to have general guidelines
determine its response.
Humans tend to save the weaker ones first in hopes that
stronger will be able to save themselves.
